"During his time in Toronto, Hyman was, and is still, known for his net-front presence, as he thrived on rebounds, deflections and was always seen in the face of opposing goaltenders. However, his production has increased since joining the Oilers, as he recorded 27 goals, 27 assists and 54 points in the 2021-22 season, which to that point were all career-highs. The Leafs seemed not miss him a whole lot, as they set a franchise record in points in a season (115)."
"Hyman seemed to step his game up as in 2022-23, he set new career-highs in scoring, as he tallied 36 goals, 47 assists 83 points. He then had his own Auston Matthews-esque performance in 2023-24, as he scored an impressive 54 goals. Since the departure of Hyman, the Leafs had recorded 100-plus points (2021-22 to 2024-25), which was impressive as they were near the top of the Atlantic with a couple of their own superstars, Matthews and, at the time, Mitch Marner."
Zach Hyman signed a seven-year, $38.5 million contract with the Edmonton Oilers in July 2021 after six seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Hyman built a reputation in Toronto as a net-front presence who thrived on rebounds and deflections. His point totals rose with the Oilers: 27 goals and 27 assists (54 points) in 2021–22, 36 goals and 47 assists (83 points) in 2022–23, and 54 goals in 2023–24. The Leafs continued to post 100-plus point seasons from 2021–22 through 2024–25. Hyman's increased production is largely attributed to playing with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, though he remains a valuable, adaptable NHL player.
